A small, resource-poor country which is located in the Horn of Africa at the southern end of the Red sea, Djibouti with the population of 88 million, has poorly endowed with natural resources, lacking arable land, sufficient rainfall and underground water and oil or natural gas resources. Therefore, its manufacturing sectors are weak and agriculture is almost non-existent. However, the main economic asset in Djibouti is its geographical location which traditionally relied on rents –military bases, port revenue and foreign aid.
